CHBO City Spotlight: Charlotte Corporate Housing

As the largest city in all of North Carolina, Charlotte is also known for many other reasons. Home to the NASCAR Hall of Fame as well as one of auto racing’s best tracks, it is also where you will find the Duke Energy Center, UNC Charlotte, headquarters for Bank of America and Wells Fargo, too. It is actually the second largest banking center in the United States and has an NFL team, NBA team, and AHL team among other sporting venues.

Because it is such a key component of the banking industry, the city’s economy emphasizes this particular area and there are six Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Charlotte or its environs. Lowe’s Home Improvement is nearby as are such familiar names as Chiquita, Coca-Cola, Nucor (a steel firm) and dozens more. There are also many energy-oriented firms and groups including Duke Energy, Siemens and others.

Real Estate and Charlotte Corporate Housing

Rents in the Charlotte city are on the rise with average rents at roughly $1,150 to $1,500. The costliest neighborhoods in which to rent are Uptown, the South End, Cherry, Cotswold, University, Providence Park, South Park and Sherwood Forest. Elizabeth, Brookhill, Dilworth, Freedom Park, Providence Crossing and others still have rents averaging above $1,250, too.

Because it is a location in which average rentals are on the rise, it is also the perfect city for a corporate housing by owner rental. Some of the hottest locations for relocating executives, traveling professionals and those on temporary assignment include the following:

City Spotlight: Toronto Executive Rentals by CHBO

As one of the most flourishing cities in the world, Toronto is also home to thousands of Toronto executive rentals. In 2014, we reported that the city was bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars in rental fees (this was from the Corporate Housing Providers Association or CHPA). We decided to check back in with the city to see if owners of an apartment rental in Toronto or Toronto executive rentals were still making lots of income from their investments.

It took one look at the listings for Toronto Corporate Housing to see that the city was indeed still flush with premium rentals. The city has a population of more than two million, and is the commercial capital of the nation of Canada, so it makes sense that Toronto executive rentals are in abundance.

However, if you are on the lookout for an apartment rental in Toronto (whether for business or some other sort of extended stay), you need to know that you have a lot of options. There are the wonderful and popular high rise buildings of the downtown area, where an apartment rental in Toronto is easily found. Yet, the Toronto executive rentals can also include suburban areas and single family homes. This can allow you to savor the many delights of this city without being required to commute lengthy distances to get from work and home.

As we reported in that earlier article on Toronto’s many appealing features, it “is considered the cultural, entertainment and financial capital of Canada … If you are staying in Toronto don’t miss out on the summer fun and take a long weekend up North to the lakes for fun in the sun or South to Niagara on the Lake for culture and theatre.”

Yet, there is much to see and enjoy within the city itself, and is a good reason to consider an apartment rental in Toronto for your extended stay. Not only will you find yourself within walking distance of some premiere neighborhoods, but it is quite common for such rentals to have everything from high speed internet and home offices to maid services and world-class amenities within the buildings.

Finding the Ideal Toronto Executive Rentals

How do you go about finding the right home or apartment rental in Toronto? As we previously reported, experts advise the use of seven search terms to get the most appropriate returns. This is why the CHBO site is a popular resource. It allows corporations, travelers and others to hone their searches and get only the finest options for their needs.

As an example, if a firm is sending several employees to Toronto for a long term project, it might be appropriate to seek out a multi-bedroom home or apartment in a quieter area. However, a single executive working in the downtown district might prefer an apartment with amenities like a gym, parking and more. Being able to search for these options, and enjoy high quality images and photos means that listings are more likely to get the attention they need.

If you are the owner of a Toronto property and wish to see it among the other high quality listings available, consider listing it with CHBO. They offer you an amazing array of resources (including a housing request form that lets potential renters get in touch directly with owners in specific areas) and can ensure that your target clients easily find the property based on simple but comprehensive search capabilities. They also highlight properties to help renters quickly find their perfect accommodation.
